Scissorlegs, that is so sweet!!

D'awwwww!  ;D That is utterly adorable! It's the mark of awesome parenting, by the way, when you see kids who are so warm, sweet and considerate. :)

Pet names for my kiddo include BooBoo (she's forever wanting to take a picnic basket to the park  :D ), Flygirl (it's based on her first name, after a famous aviator; she loves to pretend she's a plane, too, with her arms outstretched), and Munchkin (she's tiny).

I agree! ;D (not that 'considerate' is an overused attribute by any stretch!)

I like Flygirl. That's a cool nickname.

Sometimes for M I use Mini Munchkin. Also MiniMoo, MaxiMoo, MiniMinus and Smiley-Miley. For J I use Monkey, Monk or MiniMonk

Amusingly, J has a nickname for my wife: Mumchba (usually pronounced munchbar). I dont get one  :-\

The universe is a cold, uncaring void. The key to happiness isn't a search for meaning, it's to just keep yourself busy with unimportant nonsense, and eventually you'll be dead!

Awww Scissorlegs!  So sweet.

Amicale, I still love it that A has a Pirate Boy named T as an imaginary friend!

My pet names for T include Sweet Boy, T Bird, T Rex, and Tiberious (among many many others - we're big on nicknames in our family).

:D Today, she was playing make believe with 'T the Pirate Boy'. Did you know that pirates and aviators apparently team up to pilot a big huge flying pirate ship in the sky? I sure didn't! What an imagination!

And I love your nicknames for T! Yeah, other than the ones I mentioned, she's also called sweetie pie, honey, pumpkin, sweet girl and a few other names that sound like delightful dessert items. We're big on nicknames here, too! She calls my mom "G-ma", which she pronounces "Geema" like it sounds, because she never used to be able to say R sounds very well, as in "grandma"... so even though she can now, it just stuck! So, Geema it is.

That's awesome!  I was just thinking the other day that I should write down some of the stories T tells (usually involving Batman and a T Rex.)  You should do same for A.

Too funny about Geema.  My husband and his cousins actually call their grandma G-ma as well, so now T and some of the other young'uns in the second generation call her G-G-ma.  (great grandma).  My husband's family has a tradition of all of the "kids" (some of these kids are older than you  :P) making elaborate place cards for the whole family for Thanksgiving Dinner.  One year my husband made a sort of hip hop themed place card for their grandma and called her "O-Gma" and the "Gma" part just stuck.  Not quite as charming as A not being able to say her "r's".   ;D

Wee man has developed this habit of picking up things he knows he shouldn't have, loudly declaring "Uh-Oh!" and then promptly bringing them to me so I can put them away. It's super cute, but at the same time it's like "hey, kid. You know, you could just not touch the things you know you aren't supposed to have."

Cutie.

Awww, too cute!

T continues to school me in science.  This morning he was watching PBS in my room while I was getting ready for work.  The lady on the TV asked "What do squirrels use for a blanket?

Dumbly, I said "Leaves?"  T says "Nooooooo.  Their tails!"  Then the lady on the TV said "Their tails!"  Wanh wanh wanh.....

Haha, there's a quote from the show Scrubs that "having a baby is like having a dog that slowly learns to talk". It's kind of true.
I'm always amazed that he listens to us now. It's like they go through a phase where they don't understand/listen to ANYTHING, so you have to repeat ten million times "No, don't touch that. No, give that to Mommy. Please do this, please do that." and then, all of a sudden, they just get it! And, for the most part, he's a very good listener and just wants to make his mommy and daddy happy.

Watching them grow and develop really is incredible.

There is a TV programme on as I type this called 'One Born Every Minute'. It's recorded at St James hospital in Leeds where my daughter is a medical photographer. But she also does a load of promotional photography as well. In this weeks episode Myleene Klass 'opened' the new birthing pool and there's my daughter on the TV recording the event. And she's the only female photographer! Pride just doesn't cover it really  ;D
